How to replace Ford F-150 Blend Door Actuator(s) 

OMG the funniest line ever everybody that had that problem knows exactly the most annoying sound in the world lol you are so funny. Appreciate it.😂

Actuators Part# and purpose Ford MOTORCRAFT YH1933 - Blend Door Actuator (Single climate control has 1x actuator)(Dual climate control has 2x actuators) -Mixes cold and hot air to set temps. People have noted that it will click when changing temp drastically as its changing how much hot or cold air is flowing. -Single climate control: Behind radio slightly on passenger side. -Dual climate control passenger side issues: Behind radio slightly on passenger side, also same place as single climate control systems. -Dual climate control drivers side issues: Behind and slightly below glove box. ***Ford MOTORCRAFT YH1881 - Mode Door Actuator (**One in the video**) -Controls direction air is flowing (floor, dash vents, windshield). Will click when first getting in truck, as well as when the air direction is changed. -Next to gas pedal on drivers side. Easiest to replace and easiest to test. For testing, just reach up and undo cable clipped to it. If clicking stops, you have the correct one. If its unplugged and still clicks its one of the other ones. Ford MOTORCRAFT YH1770 - Air inlet Actuator -Changes the vent to allow air in from the outside or circulate the air in the cabin. -People have noted that when changing the air from inside to outside or outside to inside it clicks. This can be tested by only changing the one aspect of the hvac, AC must be off otherwise it will try and close the vent automatically to cycle cabin air. Otherwise, the other actuators may click as well giving you a false noise when you think you are testing this one. This is also the hardest to replace. I had this all written down on a note, prior to seeing this video. Mine YH1881 started clicking like 3yrs ago, so I looked into for a while to get a better understanding of the entire system. I like to work on my own vehicles so notes like this help.

The recirculation/outside air actuator actually does fail fairly regulary and is a major pain to fix. Fortunately there are videos on youtube. I started with the problem in this video a few months ago, and just the other day the recirc flapper broke. You will know this happens when all of a sudden your whole interior shakes and it sounds like a jet engine is spooling up inside your dash.

thank you so much for this video. My C blend motor by gas pedal was my bad one. King Ranch has fancy pedal that you need a 13mm socket to get the 3 bolts loose and get it out of the way. My local auto parts had a Dorman part in stock, and all Ford parts will be too late and ship when I was out of town. Again, thanks!

YO Nobody, that was super helpful. Thanks for all your trouble.

Great information. Thanks for showing us what to do.

What exactly is the part number you replaced (the one right above the gas pedal)? The part in the bag is 19E616-C but you when you point to the diagram, you say 19E616-B is the one "you are replacing right now" and point to 19E616-C as the one you thought you had to replace. Just want to confirm before ordering. Thanks. By far best video I've found.

Notes for next time amigo. The driver side, you have to align the door the actuator attaches to with a 1/4 inch socket to match the position of the new actuator. New actuator should come with the tool for the socket. And when mine failed it was the teeth on the wheel under the circuit. Just got brittle and popped one off.

I mean… it’s not like you drove around for months cursing your truck every time you started it and putting off the repair because it was a tough spot to get to 😂😂😂 After you get off that nutcracker I’ve got a nice warm pumpkin stout waiting for you. Extra lactose 🥛

I also replaced the top one, Can you post a vid of how to do the one on the driver's side by the gas pedal? and the part number for that.

Thanks for the video man !

Have a 2011 f150 platinum,all of the blend doors quit working , calibrated twice ,checked fuse still done of them work,I the past 2 years 3 have been replaced, now they all blow hot air.nobody can tell us what is wrong with them

Great content!

Thanks Buddy !appreciate it !

How did you fit a socket to get the bottom one out? The gas pedal is blocking it.

So if you have heat on passenger side, but no heat on the driver side. Which Blend door actuator would cause that problem. AC works fine.
